  Fountain Square
Music Hall’s angular, over-active, polychromatic, symbolically stone-trimmed exterior of red and fl pressed brick also calls to mind the vivid contemporary works of Philadelphia architect Frank Furness, but it remains unique in its block-long scale, highly articulated massing, and prickly profile.
Originally the Music Hall auditorium was a vast oblong communal space used for such events as the unique Cincinnati May Festival (founded 1873 and still performed here annually) and the 1880 Democratic National Convention.
Hannaford’s prolific firm, continued by his sons and successors until the 1960s, is Cincinnati’s best known, owing to the high quality of their adaptations of current styles to varied programs and also to the survival of major works.

Most music teachers are familiar with this sentiment, made famous in the early 1920s by Dr. Karl Wilson Gehrkens, a 1905 Oberlin College graduate and president of the Music Supervisors’ National Conference (known today as MENC, the National Association for Music Education).
Carolynn Lindeman ’62, a professor of music at San Francisco State University, noted author, and president, from 1996 to 1998, of MENC; Eileen Cline ‘56, past dean of the Peabody Conservatory of Music; and Herbert Henke ’53, emeritus professor of eurhythmics at Oberlin and a Dalcroze specialist.

 Composer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The principal post-Romantic Danish composer, Carl Nielsen, was born in 1865, the son of a painter and village musician.
Childhood experience as an amateur performer led to subsidised study at the Copenhagen Conservatory and a long career during which he developed his own personal style of composition, in particular in a series of important symphonies.
Nielsen's 1922 Wind Quintet is a particularly pleasing element in wind chamber music repertoire, of greater interest than the composer's earlier string quartets.

Music and Theatre Department, CNS 176a, mu 7409.0464
The Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s (1865-1931) music to the poem Jens Vejmand (Jens Roadman) by Jeppe Aakjær (1866-1930) became a national scourge which was to haunt the composer for the rest of his life after it had been published and performed in 1907.
The social indignation of the words (about poor Jens who breaks stones all his life and dies in poverty in the end) appealed to the man in the street, and the simple, well-balanced tune was easy for everybody to sing – and everybody did.
